If an incorrect clamping position is chosen for the chuck jaws on the workpiece, the base and top jaws may become damaged. • Observe maximum positions of base and top jaws. • The diameter of the workpiece may not be bigger than the chuck diameter. 03.00|1440828 ROTA THW3 |en...
Calculation examples can be found in the "Technology" chapter of the SCHUNK lathe chuck catalog. The maximum RPM stated is only valid with the maximum clamping force and when using the hard standard chuck jaws that go with the chuck.
The chuck is in perfect condition and lubricated with SCHUNK LINOMAX plus special grease. If one or more of these prerequisites is modified, the graphs will no longer be valid.

M need to be added: The centrifugal torque of the base jaws M can be found in the table "Chuck data"( 3.1, Page 19). The centrifugal torque of the top jaws M is calculated as per: 03.00|1440828 ROTA THW3 |en...
Centrifugal torque of base jaw and top jaw specified in "Chuck data" table: For the centrifugal torque of the top jaw, the following applies: Centrifugal torque for one jaw: The chuck has 3 jaws, the total centrifugal torque is: 03.00|1440828 ROTA THW3 |en...
Identifying the permissible RPM: The calculated RPM n = 1495 is smaller than the maximum permissible RPM of the chuck n = 3200 (see "Chuck data" table ( 3.1, Page 19)). This calculated RPM may be used. 03.00|1440828 ROTA THW3 |en...
Technical Supply Terms for lathe chucks as per DIN ISO 3442-2. Permissible imbalance The ROTA THW3 in ungreased state without top jaws corresponds to the balancing quality class 6.3 (according to DIN ISO 21940-11). Residual imbalance risks may arise due to insufficient rotation compensation being achieved (see DIN EN ISO 21940-11).
(max. + 0.5 mm) Ensure that the piston can be moved to its foremost position (jaw change). To do this, ensure that the dimensions for the attachment are complied with. • Push the chuck piston to its foremost position. 03.00|1440828 ROTA THW3 |en...

( 4, Page 29). • Check the chuck again for concentricity and axial run-out accuracy (see Fig. ( 5.4, Page 32)). The "Concentricity and axial run-out tolerances" table shows the concentricities and axial run-out accuracies to be achieved. 03.00|1440828 ROTA THW3 |en...
• After assembly, ensure that the flange is in contact with the entire surface. • Check the concentricity and axial run-out of the flange (see Fig. ( 5.4, Page 32)). • Then the chuck is assembled ( 5.4.1, Page 33). 03.00|1440828 ROTA THW3 |en...
Function Function Function and handling The lathe chucks of type ROTA THW3 are actuated using rotating closed-center or open-center hydraulic cylinders or via a static hydraulic cylinder. The axial tensile and pressure forces are converted to the radial jaw clamping force by the wedge angle in the pistons and thrust jaw.
(chuck open). CAUTION It is vital that the maximum jaw position is adhered to so that all teeth are engaged for the force transmission from the chuck to the base jaws or top jaws. 03.00|1440828 ROTA THW3 |en...
CAUTION Make sure that the workpiece is clamped halfway up the base jaw stroke. The workpiece must not be clamped at the end of the base jaw stroke. This can lead to the workpiece becoming loose. 03.00|1440828 ROTA THW3 |en...
Risk of fatal injury to operating personnel if the top speed is exceeded, resulting in workpiece loss and parts flying off! • A reliable speed limiter must be installed in the machine tool or technical equipment and proof must be provided that the speed limiter is effective! 03.00|1440828 ROTA THW3 |en...
• Screw in the air bleed screw to the stop. For optimum grease distribution, the chuck piston must travel the entire clamping stroke several times after lubrication. After lubrication, check that the jaw change mechanism is working properly. ( 7.2, Page 41) 03.00|1440828 ROTA THW3 |en...
If the clamping force has dropped too much or if the base jaws and piston no longer move properly, the chuck has to be disassembled, cleaned and relubricated. Only use original SCHUNK spare parts when replacing damaged parts. Checking correct functioning upon jaw change The mechanics of the jaw change notching/serrations must be checked at regular intervals;...
